The day everything meant nothing    And all the world's darkness poured into me   Bring on the hate in all its glory    And let it do what it will with me      Nothing really lasts forever    Except the memory of betrayal   The ache of emotions severed   The lonely numbness of denial      So, welcome the pain, thrive on it   The cruel chemistry   One man's heaven is another man's hell      The day everything meant nothing    And all the world's darkness poured into me   Bring on the hate in all its glory    And let it do what it will with me      Do not put your trust in anyone   Or watch it die like a flame   As love and blood soak the snow    You wrestle with where to lay the blame      My life knocked a few words   Comfort from grief   Whispering to me of my mistakes      Pain is weakness leaving the body...      We must take the bitter with the bitter   Even if we choke as we swallow   The most valuable lessons are the hardest   And as pain flees, new strength must follow
